Introduction to Knowledge Management
Description:
If you need an introductory overview to knowledge management (KM), or want a refresher, then this session is for you. This interactive workshop will explore the basics of KM, how we define it and how we can explain it to our stakeholders. You will reflect on the KM skills that we possess as a profession that can enable us to deliver effective KM in our own organisations. There will also be an opportunity to participate in a KM activity that can be adapted to your workplace.
Following this session, participants will:
- Be able to define knowledge and knowledge management (KM)
- Understand some of the terminology around KM
- Reflect on the existing skills and knowledge they possess to deliver KM
- Reflect on optimal knowledge management behaviours and how these can applied in their own organisation
